“It is one thing to see, and especially hear, a scarlet macaw in a home or zoo.
It is quite another thing to observe them in the wild. In another sense, the
plumage of these birds is an aggressive commotion in color. But in the riotous
chaos of a rainforest canopy, this cacophony of sound and color completely fits,
in a kind of outstanding way. In this image, I included striking epipytes to
compete with the birds in the colorful and complex canopy setting.”
